The construction of suitable mesh configurations for spline models that provide local refinement capabilities is one of the fundamental components for the analysis and development of adaptive isogeometric methods. [Researchers] investigate the design and implementation of refinement algorithms for hierarchical B-spline spaces that enable the construction of locally graded meshes. 3, record 1, English, - refinement%20algorithm

[...] un algorithme d’optimisation locale va permettre de trouver une solution de coût inférieur. Un tel algorithme est appelé algorithme d’affinage(le terme raffinage est aussi utilisé), et permet d’affiner une partition. De même, la partition trouvée par l'algorithme d’optimisation globale peut ne pas respecter la balance de partitionnement. 4, record 1, French, - algorithme%20de%20raffinement

We have moved from an age of artifacts, made by hand, through complex machines, to the current era of "gizmos." […] The future will see a new kind of object ...: user-alterable, baroquely multi-featured, and programmable [objects] that will be sustainable, enhanceable, and uniquely identifiable ... future manufactured objects with informational support so extensive and rich that they are regarded as material instantiations of an immaterial system. Spimes are designed on screens, fabricated by digital means, and precisely tracked through space and time. They are made of substances that can be folded back into the production stream of future spimes, challenging all of us to become involved in their production. 2, record 3, English, - spime

Il est difficile de définir l'Internet des objets, car le concept est touffu, confus, complexe [...] Pour certains, c'est simplement du soi quantifié, des données personnelles provenant d’un compteur de vélo ou d’une balance connectée qui twitte votre poids à vos amis [...] L'Internet des objets, c'est aussi une ruche signalant qu'elle est pleine de miel, [...] des béquilles signalant que leur utilisateur est en difficulté. C'est la domotique, ce sont des capteurs de tout genre, pollution, vibration, température, pression. Tous ces éléments font partie de l'Internet des objets sans cohérence apparente, rendant difficile toute définition globale. Ceci dit, une définition possible [...] pourrait être «tout ce qui résulte d’objets existants à qui on a apporté de la connectivité ou d’objets conçus nativement pour l'Internet» [...] il nous faut classer les objets, qui seront plus ou moins connectés, plus ou moins communicants. Jacques-André Fines-Schlumberger et Jestlan Hopkins proposent la classification suivante : des objets passifs [...]; des objets sourds [...]; des objets bavards/actifs, comme les capteurs fournissant des informations, les partageant avec les ordinateurs, voire avec d’autres objets communicants; des objets participatifs – concept de spime, des objets qui évoluent dans l'espace et le temps, connectés, acteurs. 1, record 3, French, - objet%20participatif
